If you want to use the CSV MIME-type? in PHP. You could try to force the browser to open a “Save As…” dialog by doing something like:
1 2 3 | header('Content-type: text/csv'); header('Content-disposition: attachment;filename=MyVerySpecial.csv'); echo "cell 1, cell 2"; |
Which should work across most major browsers.
